Prakasam Tangutur & Rural Plain Non Tribal N.A. Interior Accessible
Zarugumalli
Land Use Pattern Paddy,Jowar,Cotton, Arhar are the main crops grown in the area.
Demographic profile The Prakasam district was originally constituted on the 2 February
1970, carved out of Guntur, Nellore and Kurnool districts of Andhra
Pradesh. It was carved out of three taluks of Guntur District, i.e.
Addanki, Chirala and Ongole, four taluks of Nellore district, i.e.
Kandukur, Kanigiri, Podili and Darsi and three taluks of Kurnool
district i.e. Markapuram, Kambum and Giddaluru. It is one of the nine
districts in the Coastal Andhra region of Andhra Pradesh.
The district and blocks are selected o the basis of presence of employed and disadvantage women in the areas. The
two Mandal selected in the Prakasam district are Tangutur & Zarugumalli on the basis of women willing to take up dairy
farming units. The women selected as of now are working as wage laboueres or sitting ideal as house wives. The
majority of the people are living in the rural areas and BPL, the female literacy rate is very low , land and raw
materials are available for the dairy farming. The transportation & marketing facilities are two important factors for milk
items in the blocks.
Most of the women of the proposed under the project are traditionally oriented in milk & milk products and sizeable
number of them are from the minority and other disadvantaged sections of the community. The GOWTHAMI
FOUNDATION has conducted a pre-project study and survey of women in Prakasam district and found that most of
these women are small time workers of animal husbandry and are leading a life of poverty and neglect. They are not
getting full time work or opportunity and are being exploited by middleman and money lenders. In the absence of any
agency , their skill up-gradation training , sustainable employment opportunities, backward and forward linkages and
other welfare activities are not being taken care of an organizational level and hence they are living in perpetual
neglect and isolation.
Under these circumstances , the organization felt it necessary that it can play a major role in this area and hence this
block has been selected for implementation of the subject proposal under STEP scheme. A detailed list/information of
the beneficiaries identified through benchmark survey conducted by the organization is enclose.

pitiable conditions.
2. Women who lack employment prevailing among such women who are not organized.
3. Lack of knowledge and out dated skill among the women preventing them from their livelihood.

(annual expenditure)
Less reserve fund from annual profit Lump sum Rs.5800/-
Total Rs.51639/-
The total earning in profit from a single unit of dairy unit with two cows per year would be Rs.51639/-. The total
earning in profit per day from a single unit of dairy unit with two cows would be Rs.51840/365 days = Rs.141.47/-
Year wise returns expected and the cost to benefit analysis
At the end of first year a single unit will produce 8100 liters of milk. Compared to this at the end of second year there
will be 10% increase in quantity of milk produced. Compared to first year’s milk production in the end of third year
there will be 25% increase in the production level and in the fourth year it would be 35%.
Subsequently there will also be increase in the expenditure level of the production once it progress. There is every
possible chance that the unit will get expanded and helping the beneficiary to derive more incremental income.
As the milk production takes place only for 9 months hence the beneficiaries will have to use their income earned
after the end of 9 months in the first year and at the end of 9 months in the second year.
Implementation strategy
To establish dairy units, the organization would follow the following steps
Funneling out families who have possession of high breed varieties with yielding capacity of 15 liters of milk per day
All Cows would be insured and there will be periodic inspection by veterinary experts
Establishment of Co-operatives:
The organization has 20 SHGs in who are involved in various activities including those working in diary development.
It is also forming new SHGs to take up diary activities very actively. The Organization will form SHGs consisting of 25
members each. In the 1st year training for 10 groups would be taken up followed by 5 groups each in 2 nd and 3rd year.
In total it will take up 500 women beneficiaries i.e it will take up 500 households and provide income support to at
least 4000 people.

Organization have drawn the road map of milk collection right from the single diary units to the apex body of milk
marketing in the state. With well logistics support and along with road and rail connectivity milk could be easily
transported to buyers. Apart from milk, cow dung from every unit would be collected which has also got huge market
demand that could be used at the village itself or could be disposed to buyers to nearby places. Local arrangement to
sell milk has also been done by the organization.
Forward and backward linkages would be developed with various agencies for need based technical inputs and
market arrangements. The organization will tap local supplier of feeds, medicines, trainers, and livestock’s as well as
suppliers in up markets and analysis cost of all the inputs.
The organization will make arrangement for leading research institution in animal husbandry in the state to assist in

Support services:
The Organization will organize General awareness & remedial education to beneficiaries & their families on diary
farming. There will be half yearly health check-ups of cows and vaccines would be exercised. In total the organization
proposed to organize 6 such programmes with the help of veterinary surgeons and experts. Sanitation and hygiene of
the cowsheds along with the milk produced and delivered hold a key in ensuring disease free environment both for
cows and the beneficiaries. The organization proposes to organize 10 such progarmme five in the first year 3 in the
second year and 2 in the final year.
In order to give beneficiaries a better bargaining power and to sustain their activities, the organization will teach them
entrepreneurial and marketing skills. This will enable groups to inculcate salesman ship and understand milk markets
(both local & outside). The organization proposes to give every cow owner a sum of Rs.350 as insurance premium .
All these programmes would be carried out in form of seminars, lecturers, and presentations by legal, consumer,
subject matter experts. The organization has the list of such resource persons who understand the subject quite well.
Health check up & vaccination of the village: Rs.10000/half-year: Total 0.60 Lakhs
10 Education program on sanitation and hygiene: Rs. 8000/ groups: Total 0.80 Lakhs
Documentation & half yearly progress evaluation: Rs.7000/Half-year: Total: 0.42 Lakhs
The organization will also sensitize dairy unit holders/beneficiaries to easily understand and grasp the project, its
resources and outcome. This will develop productive skills to monitor and lead the project in a sustainable manner. It
is proposed that the groups will identify their group president/leader/representative to form an executive body to
monitor the activities and guide its respective member not to deviate from the groups work process.
Gowthami Foundation proposes to organize a 2-day training programme on diary scheme to rural women with
stipend. 500 beneficiaries in total of 40 batches consisting of 13 members each would be trained in 3 years time.
The proposed dates for the training programme could be any 6 days in two years (2011-12, 2012-13) and the venue
for the training program would be the located at Prakasam district Necessary resource persons would be invited from
the various quarters to impart the training programme.
Per day skill up gradation training cost per beneficiary: 1412000/365 Days: Rs.3868 /day
The project is most feasible for beneficiaries in India and particularly for beneficiaries of Prakasam. In the first year
there will be a total of 8.1 million liters of milk production and the economics of this project suggest us that there will
be increase in out put of milk production by 10 % every year compared to its preceding year. Post three years of
starting of the dairy units it is possible that more cows could be added to the units and there will be more milk
production.
This project would provide income support not only to the 500 beneficiaries but also provide employment and income
support to the members of the beneficiaries’ families. There will be 100% employment support through out the year. It
is estimated that the per day income in the first year of all the families involved in dairying would get Rs.1, 42,000/- as
profit from all these units. In the second year it would be Rs.1, 58,000/- and in the third year it would be Rs.1,
72,000/-.
The project will definitely provide incremental support to these families who by now are sitting idle without any
productive work. Apart from these the project would also provide nutritional support to people living below the poverty
line .The income from the units will enable families to send their children to school, provide better health care facilities
etc. The project thus envisages comprehensive area development with assured employment through out the year.
Health camp and referral services
Health camps will be organized at each center in the both the year in which qualified doctors/ paramedical staff will be
engaged for health check up of the women and their children. Necessary counseling will be conducted during the
camp emphasizing on health and nutrition, immunization, personal hygiene and sanitation. Wherever specialized
treatment are required the camp will refer cases to district hospitals for specialized attention and treatment.
Other services
Lack of awareness of various government schemes deprive people in rural areas in availing of the benefits of such
scheme. Besides this, women in the rural areas are suffering from many disadvantages simply due to lack of
awareness. The organization will try to tackle all these aspects by education the participants of the project about legal
awareness, consumer rights, remedies of domestic violence, gender sensitization, women empowerment etc. various
IEC programmes including rallies with people’s participation will be adopted so that the efforts as mentioned above
would reach a large audience.
In all the above support services the organization will ensure for the convergence of services of the respective
government departments like Health, Education, Women and Child Development (ICDS), Central/ State Social
Welfare Board, Rural development etc.
Fund management
The organization has a mechanism to ensure proper use of funds. Bank accounts are always operates by two joint
signatories authorized by the Board of Management. Separate bank accounts are opened and operated for each
project. Similarly for this project will also one account will be opened.
Computerized accounting system in tally software is in operating in the organization and regular monitoring of
disbursement of funds is done by person responsible which ensures transparency and accountability of utilization of
funds for the objects for which it is received. Further annual auditing of accounting is done by Chartered Accountant.
Further the organization offers to submit progress report to the Ministry as and when required through the facility of e-
mail system. The organization will further assist the Ministry by submitting reports which will enable to hold review
meeting on half yearly basis, to assess the cost benefit of the effectives of the project with respect to the parameters
provided in the guideline.
Project Evaluation
The organization will facilitate project evaluation by independent agency as envisaged in the scheme and will extend
to it all necessary help for carrying out its objectives. Mid-term evaluation of the project will help all concerned to
assess the progress of Implementation and the achievement with respect to the parameters in the project and will
enable for full achievement of the impact of the project when the end-line evaluation is undertaken.
